Additional Details:
On May 8, 1607, the first colonists came to the mouth of the Appomattox River, but it was not until 1646, when Governor Berkeley built Fort Henry on the site where the city now stands, that Petersburg began. Nearby lived Pocahontas, Virginia's most romantic figure. By the time of the Revolution, Petersburg had become a flourishing town.
